So.. um... the borin' place seems to make streaming audio links go ker-splat against their firewall.

Anyone listening who doesn't mind giving some of the highlights an lowlights of what they gotta say?

I just tried all the avenues on the blog.

Nada.

Torley will be presenting the superwatermellon version when he is done polishing it.

Ah well..

I was able to connect for a minute, it seemed to be the end of a Phillip Linden interview, then it went silent and I got a "401 Service Unavailable". (T_T)

I gave up on the visual feed. It's like a slideshow no matter what.

Tip to those with firewall problems. Click the Quicktime viewer and tell it to unblock? It's what I had to do. It doesn't seem to bring up the unblock dialog from SL.

Wasn't there supposed to be some big announcement during the celebrations? I thought it was today during the speeches.

Since the actual location was hopelessly lagged and ruthed, and trying to watch the Speech on Metanomics or with QT, made the video (mostly soundless) look like a Van Gogh painting, melting in a Salvador Dali landscape, it was a bit hard to focus on what was said.

The spiky hair of Phillip and M was really deviant

Phil: SL was small.. now it is really big. I made the first Disco. I will be continuing to guide the direction of it's growth and technology/features.. here is M, he will be leading us "on to bigger and better things".

M: Great to see everyone! Great to see everyone working together!
I am excited to be here. Creativity rocks! Resident experience is a priority. Content IP rights = Important. Worldwide laws = Important.
Big focus on Education, real world business and Medical research within SL. Expectation for a 25TH anniversary. Philip.. your avie is old school. Excitement about the prospects. Thank you.


Anyone have anything I missed? :D

Didn't I read somewhere that the special guest speaker will be Mitch Kapor? (Chairman of LL's board emeritus).

An odd choice to break an important announcement. You would think they'd give M some of that nice buzz ... unless the news is important, but won't be popular.

Who would pay for that? With the again current head up your ass bug we can do our own. :D

And honestly, am I the only one that would be nervous if faced with a RL illness and my DR. said "we have made some great advances in this via Second Life?"

Why not just say "I played tons of Operation as a kid?"
